Had my first lesson yesterday! Well it was kind of a lesson...After spending an hour or so making repairs and adjustments on my oboe the instructor allowed me to play his oboe. WOW what a difference a well regulated instrument makes in terms of playability!! He suggested that my oboe needs overhauling which I will do as soon as funds allow. We then proceeded to talk about canoes and the outdoors and family...all what I would consider to be very important to developing a relationship where the exchange of knowledge/information can flow smoothly. He suggested that in short order he can help me to aquire the skills to be an accomplished maker of noise on oboe
Toto thanks for the links to Heinz Holliger on you tube. I enjoy a double cd of Tomas Albinoni with Heinz H as the oboe soloist.
Mat I will search for your suggestion right now! Thanks.
